DAVID K. HARTMAN, one of the enterprising and progressive residents of East Lampeter township, was born there March 23, 1866, and is of German descent.
Henry Hartman, his father, came from Germany when he was twenty-two years of age, and located first in New Jersey, afterward moving to Lancaster county where he settled. He followed lime burning here all his life. Politically he was a Democrat, and took quite an active part in politics, holding the office of county commissioner for some time. He was a member of the Free Masons Lodge in Lancaster county, and in religion was a member of the Old Mennonite Church. He married Miss Catherine Krantz, and they were the parents of the following children: Annie, wife of John Roth; Kate, wife of Jerris Delong; Mary, wife of Levi Bixler; Henry, deceased; David K., our subject; Christian, who was killed on the Pennsylvania railroad; Jacob, who lives on the old homestead; and John, a contractor and builder of Lancaster City.
David K. Hartman received his education in the local public schools, and has always remained on the old place, engaged at farming. He is also interested in the coal business with Hartman Bros., and by well directed industry and strict attention to business has succeeded in placing himself in comfortable circumstances. He has an honorable standing in his community, both for his evident business ability and for his genuine worth as a man.
On Dec. 15, 1887, Mr. Hartman wedded Miss Lida
Hoar, daughter of John Hoar, Sondersburg, and to this union have been born eight children, four of whom died in infancy; Harry, Clarence and Elsie, are at home; and William, a bright little lad of ten years, met his death by accident in April, 1901. He was playing near a keg of powder, when it exploded, and burned him so badly that he lived only twenty-eight hours.

David married Lydia Hoar on 15 Dec 1887 in Camden, Camden Co, New Jersey, USA. Lydia (daughter of John Hoar and Margaret Koch) was born on 2 Aug 1865 in Soudersburg, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania, USA; died on 29 Sep 1933 in East Lampeter, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried in Lancaster, Lancaster Co, Pennsylvania, USA (Salem Evangelical Reformed Church, Hellers).
